Core Action Position: Relative Position

When you use the Relative Position method of determining core action position, the robot clicks a position based on proportion of window size. The proportion is determined by the recorded click position. There are no customizable properties specific to the Relative Position method.

The Position tab of the Properties Pane appears as follows when the Relative Position method is selected from the position dropdown list:

Example

Using Relative Position

I record a wizard on a window sized 1280 pixels wide x 1024 pixels high. During the recording, I click on an object located 10% to the right and 20% below the center of the window – i.e., 128 pixels to the right and 205 pixels below the center.

If I use the Relative Position method of determining core action position, when I run the wizard on a window sized 1024 pixels x 768 pixels, the click will still occur 10% the right and 20% below the center of the window – now 102 pixels to the right and 154 pixels below the center.
